揚州知府高德貴虧帑數万，既劾罷，旋卒； Yangzhou Prefect Gao Degui had embezzled tens of thousands from the treasury; after impeachment and dismissal he soon died;

天顏疏銷草豆價，戶部覈減七千有奇，天顏檄追德貴家屬。 Tianyan asked to write off inflated fodder accounts; the Board of Revenue cut more than seven thousand from the claim, and Tianyan ordered Degui's family pursued for the balance.

京口防禦高騰龍，德貴族也，與參領馬崇駿以天顏奏銷浮冒訐於將軍楊鳳翔，鳳翔格不行。 Jingkou garrison commander Gao Tenglong, Degui's kinsman, and adjutant Ma Chongjun petitioned at the gate that Tianyan had written off inflated claims; General Yang Fengxiang refused to act.

上命圖爾宸、鍾有德具獄，崇駿、騰龍婪取罪至死，天顏以草豆價戶部覈減諉罪德貴，當左遷。 The emperor ordered a full report. Chongjun and Tenglong were sentenced to death for extortion. Tianyan, for blaming Degui after the Board cut the fodder claim, was to be demoted.
